Fallout From Sept. 11

Published: Saturday, March 09, 2002

Why am I in this handbasket? Where are we headed?

The blast at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 revealed a troubled and imperfect world. Religious fanatics are vowing to "kill all Americans.'' Our leaders are talking even bigger and threatening to nuke or economically demolish anyone around the world who, if not with us, HAS to be against us! Whose child will fight such wars?

At home, the blast triggered a government spending spree throwing money around the entire world at anything that sounds good on television; millions here, billions there. Who will pay for all this?

Our precious borders are shambles: Illegal aliens draw government services; English is not the country's official language. What's to come of this?

Folks, we are being tossed and pummeled by extremely dangerous and sinister winds over which we may already have lost control and concerning things which, once lost, will be gone forever.

We have very serious problems, both internal and international, that affect not only us, but even more importantly, our children and their children. We are all completely at the mercy of our present government. It is time to start asking these people just where it is that they are taking us.
